The guy with the Gary Carter jersey is banned for life from Citi Field lol hope it was worth it!

I think it definitely is. I mean, you are the only one that will get to say, "I got to celebrate with the Mets on the mound after Johan Santana threw the first no hitter in their history." ******* Nieuwenhuis even embraced him (although Duda hit him). So awesome.

It's not my strategy at all, but it seems pretty apparent to me what they are doing. It's been declared a weak class by most experts, and the Mets agree. So instead of taking higher upside talent, they're conserving and going with more "sure-fire" major leaguers, even if they don't project to be much more than role players. I'm still incredibly disappointed that with the new slotting we didn't even take ONE upside pick though, whether it came at 12 or 35.

Did you like Cecchini as the Mets pick at 12? Seems like a minor overdraft to me. Any word if the Mets two picks were underslot?

I did and don't understand Mets fans (who have probably never laid eyes on Cecchini) criticizing the pick. He's a certain shortstop who can hit. Nothing plus, but no real red flags. That's a pretty valuable prospect.

Maybe we are underrating this kid simply because he isn't a big power hitter.
